20 Federal Tertiary Institutions To Get CNG Conversion Centres, Refueling Stations

Twenty federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria are set to receive Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) conversion centres and refuel stations as part of a government initiative to promote clean and affordable energy.

The project is driven by the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) in collaboration with Femadec Energy.

Tunji Alausa, the minister of education, met with vice-chancellors and key stakeholders on Monday to finalise implementation plans.

Also present at the meeting were representatives from the MDGIF and the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI).

Alausa said the project aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s push for sustainable energy solutions.

The minister described the initiative as a crucial step towards reducing transportation costs for students and lecturers while advancing clean energy integration in universities.
